1. Buy in Bulk

It is true that warehouse shopping can save a lot of money. Even if you have a small family, you can always split large quantities. The price of items in bulk is generally a great bargain. If you are single, you might go in with friends or family on bulk items. Take a look at Cosco as an example….cereals, toilettries, breads, meats are great examples of bulk purchasing. Not only do you save in monetary value but also you get good quality items.

2. Carpool

In some larger cities, carpooling is required in order to reduce smog. However, regardless of where you live, carpooling can also be a big money saver. Check with co-workers and determine who lives close enough to share a ride. Not only can this help to reduce your stress level but also by the end of the year, you will have saved several hundred dollars or maybe more.

3. Pocket Change

Keep a jar or some type of container handy and each time you come home, drop in your change into the container. Every time you break a bill, put the change in your container. You will be amazed how quickly your money will build. I did this and cashed the jar in 3 times throughout the year….the total savings added up in excess of $1000. Just this tip alone is worth the effort.

4. Potluck Tuesdays

Ok it doesn’t have to be Tuesdays however invite friends over for dinner as a potluck. People love sharing their favorite recipe and by splitting dinner, everyone enjoys variety while saving money. In fact, make this a tradition amongst your friends. It is amazing how much fun the social conversation can be about a particular dish of food, people love to talk about their accomplishments…why not use food as a topic.
